Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

One of the wines of the vintage, the 2008 Château Margaux is a beauty and has everything you could want from a wine. A huge nose of cassis, Asian spices, dried flowers, and incense all soar from the glass, and on the palate, it’s medium to full-bodied and pure, with ripe tannins and a great finish. A blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot made from an incredibly strict selection (only 36% of the production made it into the top wine), this elegant, regal, incredibly classic Château Margaux is thrilling today, but will drink well for another 20-30 years.

About the Producer

Château Margaux, Premier Grand Cru Classé, is a name that resonates with the excellence of the Margaux appellation, in the heart of the Médoc. Its history is rich, dating back several centuries, and its prestige has been built over time thanks to passionate generations. Today, Corinne Mentzelopoulos embodies the continuity of this illustrious estate. The wines of Château Margaux are celebrated for their elegance, aromatic complexity, and ability to span decades. They offer a palette of deep flavors, where black fruits blend harmoniously with notes of tobacco and cedar. The estate also produces Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, a refined second wine that captivates with its balance and potential for evolution. Finally, Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, a rare and expressive white wine, brings a touch of freshness to this iconic range. History tells us that Thomas Jefferson, a great wine enthusiast, particularly appreciated Château Margaux, thus testifying to its timeless quality. The estate notably works with appellations such as Premiers Crus, which consistently extend its signature. Among the most sought-after vintages are Château Margaux, Pavillon Rouge du Château Margaux, and Pavillon Blanc du Château Margaux, which serve as useful benchmarks for understanding the identity of the estate.
